The Crows.

We can but regard the reports going
the rounds of the press, with reference
to the threatened outbreak ofthe Crows,
as being largely sensational. The Crows
have never been at war with the whites;
they have never in their history been
known to break a treaty with the gov
ernment; and it is simply unreasonable
to suppose at this advanced stage of
their civilization, without an apparent
cause, they should seek to destroy the
friendly relations which have so long
existed between them and the whites.
A coalition with the Sioux, for purposes
Of warfare against the whites is little to
be feared when the fact is considered
that there is deadly enmity existing
between the tribes which is as old as
their history. If the press would curb
its disposition to dish up sensation, and
be little more reasonable in it's ac-
counts Of Indian outbreaks and their
probable results, it would greatly reduce
the strain upon the delicate nerves of
the reader, while, at the same time it
might have more beneficial tendency
in offering less discouragement to west
ern immigration.

In statement made by the crook

who was desirous Of eliciting certain
facts with reference to his past history
which might aid him in conducting the
suit in his defense, he claimed, while he
assumed an air Of the most profound
gravity. that he was born in West Vir
ginia in the year 1858; that his father
was merchant prior to the war, but
after the war broke out he entered the
army where he batted for the union up
the surrender Of Lee that he then took
up the pursuit Of agriculture, which he
continued for three years, when he went
back to Ireland, taking him (PaD with

The Murry brothers, who were con-
victed upon charge Of burglary at the
late term of court, conceived an !
planned method of escape from the
county jail in this city, on Monday
morning, which involved the taking oi
the life of j.. s. Fisher, the jailer. The
plan, as overheard by Mr.. Fisher, whose
suspicious having been aroused by cer-
tain noises heard in the steel cell where
they were confined, had silently crept
to the door of the cell, was for one of
them to knock the jailer down at given
signal, when the other was being re-
turned to the cell from the supper table
in an adjoining room. The signal was
to be given by the one returning from
supper and consisted Of three raps with
his foot upon the floor, indicating that
there was no one present In the room
besides the jailer. The plan was to
etfectually prevent an alarm being given
by the iailer by cutting his throat as
soon as he had been knocked down,
which was more fully corroborated by
the discovery Of razor concealed in
their bed. Every circumstance was
favorable to the success Of their henious
purpose, and there is little doubt Of our
having been called upon to report a
horrible tragedy, had their intentions
remained undiscovered. Immediately
upon hearing the details of the plan for
his murder, the jailer proceeded to place
handouts upon the would-be assassins
and shackled them to the floor, a wise
precaution which will be faithfully OBJ
served during the brief time intervening
before their departure for five years
visit to the romantic, but to them by no
means attractive city of Sioux Falls.

The Old Doc.

The above euphonious caption refers
to q very promising mining property,
which by reason of certain highly favor
able tests recently made by Prof Hill at
the Argo Colorado smelling works, has
reached a degree of local prominence
which fully entities it to a mention in
our columns.
The Old Doc mine is located at Camp
Washington. four miles west of this city,
and is the property of kleemann q Co.
The development work upon the lode
consists of shaft 6x7 feet and 80 feet
deep, with & foot cross-cut at the
bottom of the shaft. The width Of the
vein can only be conjectured, as neither
wall has, SO far, been encountered. AT
this time l3 feet of ore is exposed, which
in itself is an unusually massive body OF
high grade ore. The test made by Prof.
Hill gave "a ounces silver, and ounces
gold, which is considered q remarkable
showing for ore found so near the sur
face. The ore is Of the refractory
character, and has shown steady inn
provement in value from the groupings
to the deepest point reached. The
presence of more water than can be
handled by ordinary means, has inter
fered with the further sinking of the
shaft at present, but it may be safely
concluded that the "Old Doc" will be
reported favorably among the bullion
producers of Custer in the rosy hence.

Trouble Anticipated

Considerable has been printed OF late
concerning the action Of the Crow In
dans and the possibility of their going
on the warpath Many have looked on
the news as unnecessarily alarming, but
others have given serious sifniicance
to the reports, and have predicted
trouble. These latter now stand a
strong chance of being permitted to say
II told you So" Orders have been sent
to Fort Meade to the officers command
ing to hold three troops of cavalry and
two Of infantry ready to move at any
time, as serious outbreak Of Crows is
imminent.
If the Crows take the warpatb, they
will involve the Sioux oft Pine Ridge
and Rosebud agencies. as well as the
Cheyennes in Northern Wyoming.
Though there may not be much blood
shed this winter, the early spring will
likely see an Indian war Of funpleasantly
large dimensions. 1t can have but one
ending, and that will be the victory Of
the whites, and the final settlement of
the reservation question in Dakota,
Wyoming and Montana.-Rapid Journ-

Will 1t CokeP

Now that it has become settled pro-
position that there exists in the Black
Hills vast bodies of coal of a character
well adapted to the purpose of fuel,
blacksmithing and other ordinary pur-
poses, the important question arises
will it coke? The Deadwood Pioneer
Of the 23rd inst. under the caption OF
"Have we Cooking Coal ?" throws some
light upon the subject which we quote
1T has been stated at certain times
by those mostly interested in the coal
development that we have large bodies
of coal that will coke. The parties in
terested say they have coked some Of
the Hay creek coal and show 1t as a
verifcation of their statement. That
this is so we have other proofs than
those of interested parties. The gov
ernor of Montana in a recent interview
says that ''the coal developments form
two of the most important topics of
Toole's enthusiasm for Montana He
believes the day of expensive fuel in
Montana is about passed. Good cokine
coal has been found at various points
and coke is supplied to the smelters al
considerably less than the SIS rate for
the Pennsylvania product" It's known
that the same coal body that passes from
Colorado to Montana passes west Of the
Black Hills, and that our coal mines
which are thirty miles from Deadwood
are similar to that at both points. II
coking coal exists in Colorado and Mon
tana, then why should it not exist in
the Black Hills? II does exist. But i,
is not found directly on the surface as q
general thing. The coal that has been
coked in crude way at Hay creek wa:
not found on the surface but after the
tunnels were we'll into the bodies o.
ore."

The phenomenal progress Of the ST.
Paul Globe in the past two years, un-
rivalled by any other newspaper, may be
fairly considered the journalistic won
der of the period. The career Of no
other journal has been so clearly marked
by rapid advancement, unwavering
progress, and material improvement in
every feature which gives value and at
traction to public journal Ifjournal-
istic effort had fixed limit, we would
incline to the opinion that the Globe
had reached the climax Of newspaper
greatness; but since it seems to be a
settled proposition that the term per-
fection, as applied to human effort, is a
myth, we shall therefore feel no sur
prise in the event Of this peerless journ-
al continuing to astonish its readers in
the future, as it has in the past by it's
wonderful advancement and marvellous
progress.

Judge Francis has concocted a great
scheme for getting back on the bench
as soon as congress meets, even if he is
fired by the president. 1t is not only a
great scheme, but novel one. He will
induce the United States senate to re-
ject the nomination of his successor
and this will leave him in undsputed
possession Of the ermine until his term
expires-some time in August next
But is the Judge sure that the senate
would do that ?--St. Paul Globe.

would doubtless have been better

with nothing but an incomplete kit OF
burglars tools to depend upon for sup,

We RAISE Oats.

Now that the question Of the value Of
our mines is fairly settled, and their
development sufficiently extended to
warrant permanent operations in the
future, matter to which our attention
has for years been mainly directed, We
rise to state to the public in the most
pointed and emphatic terms, the i'm.
portant fact that We raise oats. We
desire to call public attention to the
fact Of this immediate section being
better adapted to the culture of small
grain, Notwithstanding the fact Of it
being in the very heart of the tin and
gold fields, than are the outlying valleys
Of the foot hills. OF number of
instances which we might mention in
verification Of our statement, it is only
necessary to name one, that of j. Nc
Kirahan, who harvested the past season
an average Of 20 measured bushels from
every acre titled. This may seem some
what surprising to farmers in other
localities, where much smaller aver
age is considered fair yield, but it is
not so regarded in this section, where
100 bushels have been harvested from
single acre of land. In future issues of
the CHRONICLE we desire to give, if our
farming community will kindly furnish
the data correct estimates of the aver
age product of wheat, rye, potatoes and
other agricultural products, showing
conclusively the superiority of mountain
over valley lands in it's productive
cdpacity
